Listed among the Most Beautiful Villages in France, Saint-Antoine-l'Abbaye surprises with the richness of its medieval heritage. The Gothic abbey church overlooks a collection of cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, and terraced gardens.

I have seen it several times and it is truly a unique monument 🙂

Unique in the world, the Palais Idéal has inspired artists for over a century. Independent of any artistic movement, built without any architectural rules, the Palais Idéal was admired by the Surrealists. In 1969, it was classified as a Historic Monument by André Malraux, then Minister of Culture, as a work of naive art.

An exceptional site in a green, quiet setting with an exceptional heritage

The former abbey church of Saint-Antoine was built in the 14th century on the site of a previous Romanesque church. With its dimensions of 61 meters long, 32 meters wide and a 22 meter high nave, it is on a par with the great Gothic cathedrals. In 1840, the church of the Abbey of Saint-Antoine-l'Abbaye, the mother monastery of the Antoniter order, was included in the list of monuments (Base Mérimée) in France as a monument historique.

Lake Champos is an ideal place during the summer season for swimming. Here you will find supervised swimming, something to have a drink at the water's edge and water activities such as pedal boats, paddles and slides. Very popular with the inhabitants of the region, the attendance can be important during the weekends of July-August.
